The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 811 Students
"Whether you can convince the public depends on your ability!"

Liu Tao said: "As long as you are really capable, why can't you convince the public? As for qualifications, they don't exist in the Panshan Group system. Everything depends on ability!"

"Well, you now have a master's degree, and your academic qualifications are inevitably a bit low. Now the group is encouraging everyone to improve their academic qualifications and enhance their abilities. I recommend you to pursue a doctorate degree at the School of Aeronautics of Southwest Associated University. I will personally be your mentor. You don't have to go to Southwest Associated University. You can stay in Guizhou Fei Group!" Liu Tao said.

He was a senior party official at Southwest Associated University and also a professor at the university. He could serve as a supervisor of master's students and also as a supervisor of doctoral students.

At Southwest Associated University, as long as one is an associate professor, he or she can supervise graduate students, that is, become a master's supervisor, after applying to the school and getting approval.

In order to supervise doctoral students, one must be a full professor, and only after a full professor's application is approved by the school can he supervise doctoral students, that is, he becomes a doctoral supervisor.

Normally speaking, if someone wants to study for a doctorate under Liu Tao, they must first take the examination organized by Southwest Associated University. Only those with excellent academic performance are eligible to apply to become Liu Tao's doctoral students. Then Liu Tao will conduct an interview, and only those who pass the interview can become his doctoral students.

People like Yang Wei were admitted through special channels.

Yang Wei was a little dumbfounded after hearing this.

Because not long ago, he just passed the professional title review and became an engineer.

Liu Tao actually wanted him to study for a Ph.D., and he wanted him to study for a Ph.D. under Liu Tao. Liu Tao became his mentor?

"What? You don't want to?" Liu Tao raised his eyebrows.

He has no students now, all his students have graduated.

As for Yang Wei, he had a talent for him, so he wanted to accept him as his doctoral student.

Yang Wei quickly said, "Yes, I do!"

In 1985, after graduating from graduate school at the age of 22, he entered Institute 611. It was also at Institute 611 that he met the most important mentor in his life - Song Wencong.

And now he realizes that he is now 29 years old and has met another most important mentor in his life.

"Someone will help you with your student status. Your doctoral thesis will be to develop the J-11B fighter, which is a two-seat J-11 fighter!" Liu Tao said, "You can write a doctoral thesis when the time comes!"

Afterwards, Liu Tao took Yang Wei to the J-11 fighter improvement team, introduced Yang Wei to everyone, announced Yang Wei's appointment, and then he personally introduced the J-11 fighter to Yang Wei.

No one in the world knows the J-11 fighter better than him.

His personal introduction of the J-11 fighter jet will also allow Yang Wei to better understand this excellent fighter jet.

Yang Wei listened very carefully, took notes constantly, and also asked questions about things he didn't understand.

The J-11 fighter and the J-10 fighter have many similarities, which Yang Wei felt when Liu Tao introduced them.

But this is normal, because many aspects of the J-10 fighter jet were designed by Liu Tao.

In the field of domestic fighter jets, general purpose is increasingly emphasized.

Otherwise, the two different fighter jets would be different in every way, which would be very unfavorable for manufacturing, maintenance, training of pilots, etc.

When Yang Wei asked questions and Liu Tao answered them, Yang Wei also received confirmation.

At the same time, Yang Wei also understood the determination and direction of the improved model of the J-11 fighter.

For example, the J-11A is a domestic version, a single-seat, twin-engine fighter, which is the basic version and does not need to be improved in the short term. The J-11E is an export version of a single-seat, twin-engine fighter, which Liu Tao has already completed and does not need to be improved in the short term.

The top priority now is to develop the J-11B fighter, which is a two-seat model.

As for the J-11C and J-11D, they are carrier-based aircraft and there is no urgency for them before medium-sized and large aircraft carriers come out.

But China is not building medium-sized or large aircraft carriers now.

As long as the J-11B fighter is developed, the J-11F fighter will be a natural outcome. Similarly, Yang Wei is also learning about the development progress of the J-11B fighter and the technical solutions proposed previously.

Liu Tao stayed in Guifei Group for another two days before leaving.

Beijing.

Siheyuan.

Liu Tao is meeting with the Tanzanian people.

Over the years, Panshan Group and Tanzania have cooperated a lot. Both sides have adhered to the principle of "win-win cooperation" and carried out multi-faceted cooperation.

Tanzania has the largest number of mercenaries in Africa, and it is a major base for mercenaries in Africa.

Tanzania has made great progress in its construction over the years. Not only is its economy very impressive in the whole of Africa, but its military construction is also eye-catching.

目前塔桑尼亚武装部队现役兵力2.6万人，预备役4万人，准军事人员1000人，其武装部队由陆军、空军、海军组成，其中陆军现役2.2万人，分为5个步兵旅、1个装甲旅、3个炮兵营、2个防空营、1个迫击炮营、2个反坦克营；海军现役有1000人，空军现役3000人。

Although the equipment are PLA active equipment from more than ten or twenty years ago and are relatively backward, they are still advanced in Africa.

The Tanzanian army adopts the PLA standards, even the military posture, formations, and slogans are all in accordance with the PLA standards. Tanzania also regards itself as a senior disciple of the PLA.

Years of social stability have provided a good environment for Tanzania's economic development.

Currently, the two sides have cooperated to build a gold smelter, a natural gas mining base, a diamond mining base, etc.

Panshan Group has built at least 30 factories of various types in Tanzania, helping Tazania build roads, railways, schools and hospitals.

It provided strong support in Tanzania's reform and opening up process.

Even the Tanzanian government often copies some policy documents published by China without any changes.

The two sides established a very friendly and close relationship.

Tanzania is also the country most enthusiastic about sending international students to study in China, and the two sides have a very deep friendship.

Tanzania currently has a population of 2758 million, an increase of more than million from ten years ago.

The rapid increase in population reflects Tanzania's social stability and rapid social and economic development over the past decade.

In the past decade, Tanzania's economic growth rate has not been lower than double digits.

The trade settlements between the two sides are made in both U.S. dollars and RMB, with the proportion of RMB settlements exceeding 60%.

After all, China has almost everything Tanzania needs.

Tanzania exports natural resources such as gold, diamonds, natural gas, iron ore, etc. to China, and then imports various commodities from China.

The cooperation between the two sides is a model and a living advertisement in Africa.

China is now Tanzania's largest and most important trading partner, and the two sides have a comprehensive strategic partnership.

It was also based on the friendly relationship between the two sides that Liu Tao made a special trip back to the capital to meet his old friend.

Otherwise, it would be unworthy of the host.

Although the partnership between the two parties is based on common interests, they also need to visit and communicate in order to maintain the relationship and feelings between them for a long time.
